Fukui Station Dinosaur Plaza
福井駅恐竜広場
Life-size, moving and roaring dinosaur models and a dinosaur mural on the west side of Fukui Station, the first photo stop when you arrive.
The west exit plaza of Fukui Station features three life-size dinosaur models: Fukuiraptor, Fukuisaurus and Fukuititan. They sway and make sounds. Nearby are a dinosaur-doctor bench, a huge dinosaur mural on the station building's exterior wall, and dinosaur decorations inside the Shinkansen station. Admission is free. It is convenient for killing time while waiting for a train, or for a photo stop before transferring to the Echizen Railway for the Katsuyama Dinosaur Museum. The plaza is lit at night.
